Data Categories

The data category (the basic component of data classification) is the tag used when a classification rule is satisfied.

To define a data category, open the Manage Categories panel from any of the Data Classification screens

For example:

  1. Navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Policies > Actions > Manage Categories
    or
    Compliance > Data Classification > Rules > Actions > Manage Categories
    .

  2. In the Manage Categories window, type the category name in the Add New Category section.

  3. Click Add.

The system adds a new data category to the Current Categories list. Users can edit and delete existing user-defined categories from the Current Categories list. Users can also search categories either by name or by checking the Show user defined categories only checkbox.
